This Company Wants You to Apply for a Job Through Snapchat (Seriously)

We use Snapchat to send videos, pictures, and various doodles that show we have absolutely zero artistic skills—but what about using it to send a job application? That's exactly what one company wants you to do.

In a post on Lever, online retail company Everlane announced it will accept applications submitted via Snapchat. In fact, it seems the company would prefer Snapchat applications over more traditional submissions, writing that a Snapchat story might be "the best way to get hired in 2016."

To apply, job candidates have to identify open roles at Everlane, then make a 60- to 90-second story on Snapchat about why they'd be perfect for the job they picked. The applicants would then tweet out their Snapcode to Everlane—and save it, so that it wouldn't self-destruct or expire, of course.

According to Everlane, "eight out of 10 people working at our Shoe Park were hired from a Snapchat story we made." Interesting. What's more, the retailer regularly posts its own Snap stories and answers customer questions using the app. The future of job hunting? Maybe not, but the move is one more reminder to keep your social media skills sharp.
